May 18, 2012 – Bullets... Less the Actual "bullet"

Hmmm… maybe it’s been a good week “because” of the girl
scout cookies.

Have I ever mentioned that I was a “brownie” when I was
little? For those of you unfamiliar with brownies, they are the gateway drug to
girl scouts.Oh, did I overstate my
participation in the brownies?I was a
brownie for an entire day.I paid a
dollar to stick leaves on a coffee can.At the end of the day I told the brownie leader “This is boring, give me
my dollar back.”Hey sis how old was I?

Oh and if you think that is funny, when I made it to the
ninth grade, guess who my homeroom teacher was… yes, the brownie troop
lady.She remembered me.

We’re making plans for a weekend trip to Normandy
France.I want to go to the American Cemetery
and Memorial.The plan is to drive, it’s
a long drive but I think it will be scenic.

Ani DiFranco – I like her music but today it’s bugging me:Switching to the Cowboy Junkies.

I’ve been taking a break from reading.When the urge hits me I can read nonstop.Lately it feels like when I read I am in
reverse but I picked up a collection of short stories which seems to match my
attention span.

We were in 2nd grade -- 7 going on 8 --when you decided Brownies weren't for you. I stuck it out until February of that year. I love telling that story about your day at Brownies. Have a great time on Normandy. Love, Your Favorite Sister.
